What last time? Let's not play revisionist historians, ok?
But there IS a history, dating back to April, see:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88456
and updating glibc to glibc-2.3.2-27.9.6 hosed my system, rendering it unbootable.
For all co-victims, here's the steps that finally reanimated my RH9 box, quoted from
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/archive/5/2oo3/05/4/57607
1) insert CD RedHat 9.0 disk 1 into CDROM
2) boot computer from CD
3) type "linux rescue" in the installation prompt
4) answer few questions about language and network settings, then press "Continue" when asked about old system mounting to /mnt/sysimage
5) when you get shell prompt, type "mount" to check if CD is mounted to /mnt/source and old system is mounted to /mnt/sysimage
6) type "rpm -ivh --force --root /mnt/sysimage /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-2.3.2-11.9.i686.rpm /mnt/source/RedHat/RPMS/glibc-common-2.3.2-11.9.i386.rpm" to reinstall original glibc
7) type "chroot /mnt/sysimage" to check if you can get old root instead of usual "Segmentation fault", then simply type "exit" twice to exit from shells and reboot computer. Enjoy. :)
After that I (K.) booted into runlevel 3 and, as root, did an
up2date glibc glibc-devel
which gave me the most recent glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7 and it's associates.
